"Uncle Mose" in
Washington for
67th Congress
Dwm of Nebraska Lawmakers
Telia of Problems That Must
Be Settled by Repub
lican Party.
Washington, D. C. Nov. 18.
(Special Telegram.) "Uncle Mose"
Kinkairf.
Ration in congress, arrived in Wish-
ington on the heels of one of the
worst rain storms of the season,
Judae Kinkaid said the people of
the Sixth district have been extreme
ly kind to him at the last election,
hating returned him to the 67th
congress with the largest majority
ever given a candidate since the
creation of the district.
During the summer "Uncle Mose1"
waa compelled to go to Wisconsin
to get rid of a very severe attack
of hay fever, but with the appear
ance of frost his recovery from
th extremely annoying malady was
apparent, he said today, and he
looked the tart. He said that he
telr) better than he had for years.
"I shall favor the repeal of the
excess profits tax and the repeal
- of the surtax," said the veteran
legislator, "and the sooner con
gress repeals these unjust taxes the
better."
Just what should be substituted
For these taxes to raise revenues
should be with an angle to the en
couragement of business, not a han
dicap," he said. "While there is much
to be said in favor of a general sales
tax bill, I am not convinced that this
is the best substitute for the excess
profits tax. In fact I have an open
mind on the subject and propose to
tudy the pros and cons before com
ing out squarely for a general sale
tax.
"The 67th congress will have many
vexatious problems before it and I
can i only hope the" big republican
majority will be solidly united for
the people, for the republican party
it on trial, and we cannot afford to
break up into factions or cliques. If
we do so, the mandate given us in
November by the people of the
United States will be taken away
rom us two years hence.
"Another vital thing that the next
congress should do early in the ses
sion, i to extend Vhe life of the
government bonds that were issued
to fight the war. Posterity should
oay these obligations, not ourselves
in our lifetime, for posterity will be
the beneficiary of our having joined
the side of the allies."

Commission to
Handle Crain Is
Plan of Farmers
Co-operative Board and Ele
vator Association Results
From Three Days' Con
vention in This City.
"Onward, Nebraska" was the
watchword of the Nebraska Farm
ers' Co-Operative Grain and Live
Stock association convention, which
closed a three-day session in
Omaha at the Hotel Rome yesterday
noon, the delegates dispersing in
groups, to meet in South Omaha for
a tour of the stock yards.
The two most important steps tak
en at the convention in living up to
its object, "Onward, Nebraska," were
the formation of a state grain com
mission company and the organiza
tion of a state co-operative elevator
company. '
The new grain commission com
pany will handle all business of the
farmers in the state of Nebraska and
points -tributary to Omaha, which
makes the western part of Iowa eli
gible to membership. The matter
of working out the details of the
proposed company have been dele
gated to the officers ot the co-operative
association to report to the va
rious members as soon as the stage
is set for organization.
Omaha will likely be the headquar
ters of the officers of the commission
company, according to Mr. J. ..
Canady, president of the Co-opera
tive association.
Delegates to a convention of state
associations in Chicago next month
were appointed. They will represent
the grain and live stock interests of
Nebraska. The Co-operative Grain
and Live Stock association, being an
auxiliary body, and being more keen
ly interested "in the handling of live
stock and grain than any other state
association, is preparing itself to
have these interests well considered
at the national convention.
Delegates who will represent Ne
braska at the national convention in
Chicago include J. S. Canady, presi
dent; J. W. Shorthill, past secretary;
E. P. Hubbard, retiring secretary,
all of Omaha, and F. A. Baker of
Stratton;

attack of toothache at Omaha and
now the three young men are back
again with their mas and pas at
O'Neill.
These young travelers are sons of
prominent residents of O'Neill and
they attended high school there to
gether, the Whelan boy being the
orator of his class. They were born
and raited in O'Neill and had never
traveled beyond the limits of the
state.
But they had the wanderlust and
wanted to see the great, wide world.
Tickets to Omaha were obtained and

made without incident or accident
until -the Miller boy began to suffer
from a toothache after arrival here

boys tpent more than $100 in tele
graph and telephone tolls, notifying
the police of many cities. A con
ductor of the train which brought
the boya to Omarft advised the par
ents pn his return to O'Neill. The
police here were directed to hold the
young globe trotters. The boys
were held in the matron's depart
ment at the city jail for 12 hours.
Mr. Sullivan came to Omaha Wed
nesday and accompanied the boys-
homeward.
The boys explained that their plan
was to work their way to California.
The Miller boy understood garage
work and all of them were experi
enced farm workers.
- Had Big Plans.
After having traveled through
California, from its snow-capped
mountains in the north to its near-
tropical clime in the south, these-i
Nebraska travelers hoped to travel
through Old Mexico and then cross
the Pacific ocean, tarrying at Hono
lulu and at Manila.
"Gosh dern it, I just had to have
that toothache," was the lament of
the Miller boy.
When they returned to their
homes Wednesday night, there were
some fond reunions and three young
men remarked that it was rather
nice to get back home again.
One of the mothers had a fine
cake ready for the return of her
son and it is rumored that one of
the fathers had something else
ready for his son.
